Painted in 2021, Malibu brings together opposing forces within Hill’s late practice: saturated color set against decisive gesture, structure emerging through contrast rather than cohesion. Areas of intensity meet passages of openness, allowing the composition to shift between control and release without settling into a fixed center.

Presented here as a print, the work is translated to retain the immediacy and material presence of the original canvas. The restrained, exhibition-style format gives the composition space to assert itself, holding a direct and sustained presence within its environment.
